SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 787,121, dated April 11, 1905.

Application filed November 17, 1904. Serial No. 233,094.

l-e it known that l. HnNl-:r Sinon, a subject of the Czar of Russia, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New Yorlt, have invented a new and Improved Cap, of which the following' is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in caps, particularly of the general type worn by automobilists. bicycle-riders, andthe like, the object being to provide a cap so constructed that it may be readily changed to present d ifferentcolors or textures, thus practically providing; a plurality of caps in a single structure.

l will describe a cap embodying' my invention and then point out the novel Vfeatures in the appended claim.

Reference to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specilication, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding' parts in all the tigures.

Figure l is a perspective view ot' a cap embodying my invention. Fig. i2 is a sectional view thereof. Fig. I isa section similar to Fig. 2. but showing, the parts in a different position. Fig. -L is a side view showing,- the parts in still another position, and Fig'. 5 is a frzm'mentary View illustrating the manner of securing the parts together.

l'ieferrine' to the drawings, 1 designates the band of the cap, having the usual vizor.) and also having' connected to it a lining material 2%. 'lhe cap has three changeable covers or top pieces l 5 6. The coverl maybe of rubber, cloth, or similar material, while the other covers are different materials or dillerent colors. W'hen the cover l: is placed outermost, as indicated in Fig. 2, its front band portion connects with a band-section i' and its rear portion connects with a band-section 8. These lamthsections are open at one side and are de signed to be secured together b v means of any suitable fasteningl device, here shown as an eye .l, for engaging with a hook 10. lt will he noted that when the rubber or cloth cover-l is outermost the top or cover 5 will be folded upon itself, one Yfold being attached to the cover l. as indicated at 1l, while the other end of said cover is attached to a band-section 12. The cover 6 is also folded upon itself and has one of its folds sewed to the cover 4, as indicated at 13, the other portion of said cover being' attached to the lxed band-section 11. From the connection V11 of the cover material 5 with the cover a a facing-strip 15 extends downward, beine' of the same color as said cover 1. A similar facing-strip 1G extends downward from the connection 13 to the band-section T of the cover 4. It will be noted that the tops or covers 5 and (3 are stitched together at the center, as indicated at 1T.

ln the operation should it be desired to have the cover 6 outermost the fastening 9 10 isto be released and then the top or cover 1 drawn rearward over the cap, so that its band portion T will be at the rear, and the `fastenings may be again secured together. At this time of course the faces of the covering 6, which are indicated in Fig. Q as adjacent to each other, will be open, so that the under side of the upper stretch will be uppermost and corresponding with the upper side ot' the lower stretch. 'hen it is desired to have the cover 5 outermost, the parts are to be turned trom the rear of the cap forward.

Havingthus described my invention, l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters PatentW A cap comprising a body portion, a cover having connection with a lixed band-section at the rear of the cap, a movable band-section attached to the front of said cover, a second cover adapted to fold upon itsel't, one fold thereof being,l secured to the lirst-named cover, a band-section to which the other fold is secured, a third cover also adapted to fold upon itself, one of the lfolds beingsecured to the lirst-named cover, the said second and third coverine's beingI secured together at the center, a hxed band-section to which the other fold is secured, and facing-strips, substantially as shown and described.
